4th boil-off; end of season coming . . .
Had a low sap yield, 5 gallons, made a pint. Temperatures today reach 70 degs. and the 10-day forecast doesn't look promising. Still have 10 gallons to boil from this past week's collection; it may be the last boil for the year.
Pulled the taps
On February 17th we pulled the taps and had our last boiling. We finished the season with 1.1 gallons of syrup. From Jan. 20th-Feb. 17th we had 21/29 days with sap flow.
